Now that it looks like Notre Dame QB Jimmy Claussen will start for the Irish on Saturday, we now have a better idea on how this game will go. Navy always gives Notre Dame fits for some reason. When it looks like the Irish are in command, they let the Midshipman back in it. The key to beating Navy is stopping the running game. Plain and simple. That’s all they have. The Irish have been very good lately at stopping the run, only allowing 97 yards per game in their last 3. Look for Claussen to have a big day and for the Irish to take Navy more seriously this year.
